Each vacation comes with a long list of expenses, but frequent travelers are constantly coming up with creative ways to save up some cash. If you’re trying to make your next stay more affordable – or even free – these three tricks will get you there.
Rewards Program
Many booking websites have their own rewards programs, and you might save a lot of money by using them on a regular basis. Famous hotels have their loyalty programs, as well, and if you keep coming back, you can earn points towards a free stay.
Friendly Invite
Many of the websites where you can reserve a stay at your favorite hotel allow you to invite your friends to join them. After they’ve booked a room and completed their stay, you can both get a pretty great referral credit, that can be used for future bookings.
Travel Blogger
Just like any other business, hotels are dying for good feedback – especially newly-established ones. If you travel a lot and have good social media skills, consider starting your own blog or travel-based Instagram account, and using it to score free rooms once your following is impressive enough.
